Seitan Chow Fun

Preparation

1. Step 1

   In a small mixing bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup of the broth. Stir in the sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger to taste, and remaining broth. Set aside.

   Step 2

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles until al dente according to package directions, then drain.

   Step 3

   Heat the oil in a stir-fry pan. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until golden. Add the garlic and broccoli and stir-fry over medium-high heat just until the broccoli begins to turn bright green. Add a small amount of water if more moisture is needed in the pan.

   Step 4

   Add the bell pepper and seitan and continue to stir-fry just until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes longer.

   Step 5

   Stir in the sprouts and sauce and cook briefly until the sauce thickens.

   Step 6

   Stir in the cooked noodles and remove from the heat. Season with pepper to taste and a bit more soy sauce if desired, and serve at once.
